Back to Planet Vegeta
8:55 am
Goku drifted slowly through the asteroid belt that permeated a small part of the orbit area between mars and Jupiter. He yawned, that is to say, he would have yawned, were it possible to do so in space. It'd been an early day when ChiChi had woke him up, frantic about a story on the news, insisting he do something about it.
He extended his arms, expelling a small amount of energy to stop himself, and in a brief burst of light turned Super Saiyan. A few small waves of energy rippled out and disturbed several nearby asteroids. He'd been working on preserving energy when switching between SS levels lately and it seemed to have paid off. He'd also learned to hold his breath for extended periods of time, which permitted him to perform some high intensity training in the vast expanses of space. It was the only place where SS4 training was practical if he did not have the intention of devastating earth. The lack of gravity had initially been a problem, but by constantly accelerating while performing his training allowed him to more than make up for it. He closed his eyes, and tensed for a second before he relaxing. His energy spiked again as he shot to SS2. The resulting energy wave disturbed the surrounding asteroids only slightly more. He flicked his hand at a nearby asteroid. The asteroid shot out from its place with a surprising amount of speed.
"Super Saiyan 2 should be more than enough for this" Goku thought. Lately he'd grown extremely bored of his job of protecting the Earth. Today's mission consisted of stopping a continent size rock from colliding with Earth. Goku almost wished it was planet size. Then maybe it'd be slightly challenging. He scratched his neck before creating a small energy surge that set him adrift again. He hummed softly in his head and put his hands behind his head. After 5 minutes or so he decided he might as well get down to business. It'd be breakfast time soon. Goku peered around. He looked in Jupiter's direction and saw his target. He lazily stuck his right hand out palm facing forward and flat. It was a newer technique he'd been working on with mild success. His palm shone as energy began to build up in it. His 3 other extremities also began shining as energy gathered at them too. "Honak-Tah!" He yelled. Though obviously he was the only one who heard his yell. The 3 other energy orbs shot through his body towards his extended palm and united into an orb of energy which streamed out immediately towards the asteroid. A few moments later the asteroid was vaporized ending the threat to Earth. Goku rolled his eyes. Nothing was challenging to him anymore. Even sparring with Vegeta was a simple task; Vegeta simply couldn't maintain SS4 as long as him. He turned back towards earth. The high power levels of the other z fighters made finding it rather unchallenging. He raised his fingers to his forehead and disappeared. He rematerialized near kami's lookout, and flew towards it. He spotted Gohan and the two aved to each other.
"Hey dad" Gohan said as Goku touched down on kami's lookout.
"Hey Gohan, what are you doing here?" Goku said as he powered down from super saiyan 2. "Shouldn't you be at home?"
"I should, but I wanted to talk to you about something I've been thinking about."
"Oh, what is it?" Goku asked.
"Well, me and Vegeta have been working on an idea, or plan if you will"
Goku laughed slightly "You and vegeta working together?"
Gohan laughed a little too "yeah I was kinda surprised myself. But yeah, as we both know, earth seems to have finally settled down again, as such we were thinking about the old Planet Vegeta."
"I thought it was destroyed?" Goku inquired
"Oh it was, but we know there's still remnants of it left. We were proposing that we go there, just look around. There might be something interesting or worthwhile there. I think vegeta has some secret motive, he always does, but I'm curious."
"Sounds good" Goku said nodding, "When are you guys leaving? Your mother isn't going to be too happy about this."
Gohan put one of his hands to the back of his head laughing nervously "Well the ship was done ahead of schedule... so were going to leave in a few hours, it's a little short notice but me and vegeta are pretty anxious. I was hoping you could tell everyone.. particularly mom.. and videl"
"Whatttt?? She's -your- wife... and ChiChi will kill me for letting you go" Goku protested. "You might be an adult but she still doesn't like you doing things like this."
"I know.. mom can sure be scary sometimes."
"She sure can..." Goku sighed "ok, I'll tell your mother, but you have to tell videl."
Gohan tried to hide his grin at conning his dad into this.
"how long will you guys be gone?" Goku asked.
"Well we're not sure. If everything goes smoothly, should take a month to arrive, few days there and a month back."
"wow.. Bulma and her dad must have worked overtime to make a ship that fast"
"Yeah I know! She made the ship twice as fast as when you guys used it. I'll have to ask her how she did it when we get back. You and mom will be able to help with Pan right? She's calmed down a lot, but she's still crazily energetic."
Goku smiled. "Of course, I wouldn't miss the chance to spend some time with my granddaughter."
Gohan held out his hand. "Thanks dad. I'll be seeing you again in about two months."
Goku brushed Gohans hand a side and embraced him in a full hug patting his son on the back. When Goku had released Gohan from the hug he spoke again,
"I'll ask King Kai to keep an eye on you guys. If something happens, let him know, and I'll be there in a flash." Goku said tapping his middle and index finger to his forehead.
Gohan smiled "Thanks dad."
With that Gohan left the look out, waving to his father as he did. There were a few things he had to do before he left.
